Categories     Dessert

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup butter ((2 sticks))
1 1/4 cups milk chocolate chips
1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 12- ounce can evaporated milk
4 cups granulated sugar
2 1/4 cups mini marshmallows

Steps:

  • Add the butter, both types of chocolate chips, and vanilla to an extra large mixing bowl. Set aside.
  • Line a 9×13'' pan with tin foil and set aside.
  • In a very large heavy saucepan, combine the evaporated milk, sugar, and marshmallows. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until the mixture comes to a boil.
  • Keep the heat on medium and stir constantly, being cautious to constantly scrape down the sides of the pan and along the bottom of the pan as you stir (this will help the sugar dissolve and not be grainy, and keep anything from burning to the bottom or sides of the pan.)
  • Boil for about 10 minutes*--the fudge should be light golden brown in color. (If using a candy thermometer you will want to cook it to around 235-240 degrees F. Temperature will vary depending on altitude, humidity etc., but just watch the clock and make sure it boils for about 10 minutes).
  • Grease your foil-lined pan with cooking spray.
  • Pour the hot mixture into the bowl with the chocolate chips and use an electric mixer to gently combine everything until melted and smooth. Pour into prepared pan.
  • Chill completely in the refrigerator. Once cooled you can pull up on the edges of the tinfoil to lift the entire slab of fudge out of the pan.
  • Cut into small squares, or I like to cut it into a few "bricks" that I wrap in tinfoil and give as gifts. Store fudge wrapped tightly in the fridge so it doesn't dry out.

EXTRA EASY AND DELICIOUS FUDGE!



Extra Easy and Delicious Fudge! image

In 2008, I was given a similar recipe for Fudge using Frosting and Chocolate Chips. I have added my hints and combinations, so that you can use just about any flavor chips or frosting and have the easiest, creamiest and yummiest fudge! As I have reported in the past, I love to revise recipes and also enjoy making dishes that...

Categories     Candies

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pkg (12 oz) hershey's chips or, (10 oz) pkg nestle's chips***
1 can(s) frosting (don't use whipped kind -it doesn't set as well)
USE ANY FLAVOR CHIPS AND FROSTING

Steps:

  • 1. Put the bag/package of chips in a glass bowl -don't pile them all to the middle -kind of spread them out. Microwave on high for 90 seconds. Take out and stir well. DO NOT OVER-MICROWAVE CHIPS OR THEY WILL SCORCH. They will still hold their shape, but melt when you stir them.
  • 2. Then dump one whole can of frosting on top of the melted chips. Microwave on high for 90 seconds. Take out and stir well.
  • 3. Pour/spoon into a 8"X8" or 9"X9" square pan. Refrigerate until chilled and set. Then cut into small pieces (Believe it or not, it is real rich.).
  • 4. HINT 1: Sometimes I put a capful of Vanilla Extract and a pinch of salt in it after everything has melted. I thought that it may give more of a home-made taste. I had a few nuts and broke them up in it too. But you do not have to do that, as the lady who initially told me about the fudge didn't use vanilla, salt or nuts -and it is delicious just using the chips and frosting!
  • 5. Hint 2: I lined the pan with aluminum foil and put it up the sides of the pan -and gave it a little squirt with Pam. If you have the Reynolds Release Aluminum Foil, that would be real good too. You don't have to line the pan with foil -but it just makes it easier to get out of the pan, since you just lift it out. I did put a little bit in a plastic container that I sprayed with Pam -and didn't line it with foil and it came out just fine. The first piece was a little tricky, however.
  • 6. ***It really doesn't make much difference if you use Hershey's or Nestle's chips (Nestle's just has 2 ounces less). BUT DO NOT USE A CHEAPER BRAND.
  • 7. HERE ARE SOME COMBINATIONS THAT YOU CAN MAKE -EXPERIMENT WITH YOUR OWN COMBINATIONS: .Milk Chocolate Chips and Cream Cheese Frosting; .Milk Chocolate Chips and German Chocolate (coconut and pecan) Frosting; .Peanut Butter Chips and Choclate Frosting; .Mint Chocolate Chips and Chocolate Frosting; .Butterscotch Chips and Vanilla Frosting; .Any Flavor Chips and Vanilla Frosting.

SUPER EASY & DELICIOUS FUDGE



Super Easy & Delicious Fudge image

If you like fudge and you like easy, this is the recipe for you! My grandma used to give this to us for Christmas served in circular tins, separated by wax paper. I prefer plain chocolate fudge, but have been known to insert some Andes mints in here or there. I went through a phase in high school where I made this almost bi-weekly.

Categories     Candy

Time 20m

Yield 1 4.5, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons salted butter
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (I use Nestle)
1 (12 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (I use Eagle brand)
1 teaspoon vanilla
10 chocolate-covered mint candies (I use Andes brand) (optional)

Steps:

  • Spray a large bread pan (or two small bread pans) with a non-stick spray. Also, prepare a double boiler by getting the water boiling. Also, this is a recipe which requires constant stirring, so have a spoon handy!
  • In the double boiler, add the butter, vanilla and sweetened condensed milk and melt together. Note: if you don't have a double boiler, create a makeshift one by boiling water in a pot and placing another similar-sized pot over it. It keeps you from burning the chocolate by providing an even heat source.
  • Once the mixture is blended and easy to stir, add the chocolate chips, stirring constantly.
  • Stir until the mixture is glossy and well blended with no chunks.
  • Pour into the prepared bread pan(s). If desired, insert Andes chocolate mints throughout the fudge by pushing it into the top. Let cool completely before serving. (Don't put into the refrigerator to cool either.) Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a heavy saucepan: This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the fudge from scorching.
  • Use a candy thermometer: This is the best way to ensure that the fudge reaches the correct temperature and consistency.
  • Be patient: Making fudge takes time. Don't rush the process or you'll end up with a grainy or crystallized product.
  • Store fudge properly: Fudge can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. For longer storage, it can be frozen for up to three months.

Conclusion:

Making fudge is a fun and easy process that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little patience and attention to detail, you can create a delicious and indulgent treat that is perfect for any occasion.
